I have hold the last episode for so long because I did not want to part with this drama yet.
what I discovered after the hiatus and filling it with other romcoms (with handful of cringe west romcom movies) is that, with jdramas (romance and sol), it can still be borderline fantasy tag (the cases are rare to impossible in real life), but also, because Japanese portrayals of ordinary people are just a chef's kiss ,that I can't help running my mind wander that somewhere out there, sometime through the years, these stories could happen in real life.
why is this getting better each episode? because we see how much is the struggle, but also, we get to witness how she is satisfyingly winning. we empathize with the pain, and that is why we also get to share the victory.
this was not a mere underdog story where we wait for happy ending, but it is a story of a queen. She is strong because she has a lot of people to protect. She is a queen who has people under her umbrella. and episode 9 revealed that it was not only her sons, nor the people who work in her chambers, but even the girls in the shelter, and eventually, the whole nation. She is little by little owning all the more her title as queen.
the drama is still going strong and keep my interest in the maximum. our queen's charm is still unparalleled and Chani's character is still despicable. I can't imagine a king who kills to manipulate someone just ultimately for his greed. aggghhhh! and don't get me started with the queen dowager! they did a great job casting great actors/ress for villain roles!
I have been watching in 1.50 or 1.75 speed for at least 10 dramas in a row now, but Under the Queen's Umbrella made me watch it to normal speed again. The suspense it brings so one needs more time to savor their expressions :D
Gosh, it's the queen family vs everyone in the palace. It seems so impossible for them to survive in that cruel…
The Queen's Umbrella: when we saw the poster, we thought it was just about one prince, but then the earlier episodes made us realized that she has 5 sons under her umbrella, and now, it is getting bigger with the crown princess and her grandson.
ok, so the recent episode is giving me stress and anxiety yet I will finish this series just to see the queen's victory over everyone who want to hurt her and family.
I am in so much rage and in so much anticipation for more heartaches and the chaos. But I will stay and cheer for our queen!
Honestly, I have not thought about that. I just said top3 to emphasize that it is that good :) but here are 3 that I can think of at the moment.. dialogues that make me forget everything(drama who won the dialogue category): Run On, Ore no Hanashi wa Nagai (literal translation is - if talking paid, so yep), My Liberation Notes (specially when Chang Hee starts to speak..).
I really like dramas like the Before trilogy. There is really nothing happening there but just the conversations can make the whole story.
thanks for asking. I might change my top 3 soon with Run On still making it to the list ;)
